Adult ADHD- I've had trouble focusing, talking too much or thinking too fast and too much.

Comment:
Works very well. It was a little tough getting started but I was able change to a lower dose which helped. This med needs to be started with a lower dose than the 40mg that is often recommended. Currently taking 80mg a day with no problems. I can actually sit in one place and do work assignments. Before I took this medication, I would work for 5-10 min and then stop to either take a quick walk or
